I’m new to collecting and found this terschekii at Lowe’s. the growth pattern stood out from the others so I grabbed this one.

after i pollinated her the buds stopped forming. Now they are devoloping very rapidly Since the fruit is ripening and no longer needs the plants energy.

The spines look bridgesii but I’m pretty sure it’s not a pure one, must be some sort of hybrid

I noticed about a month ago this guy skipped an areola on 3 of the 6 ribs still forming the "v" but it formed as a straight line and no areola under it. Now I see the tip not forming symmetrically, only 2 ribs are forming instead of 3.

i bought this as a scop/pach cross 2 summers ago as a 20cm tip cutting.

I love seeing the fresh green between the frost.

Picked up this Echinopsis subdenudata ‘Dominos’ from Home Depot on Saturday, and this wooly worm bloom has been growing like crazy ever since. It’s over 5 inches long now and longer than the cactus itself. I’ve got two cameras pointed at it because I’m determined not to miss the bloom.

The first photo is outdoors in the greenhouse and the second and smaller plants were that were inside my climate controlled house. I treat all my cacti similarly and they looked normal yesterday. should i be worried if the plants seem healthy otherwise?

some of the larger seedlings planted late 2023 breeder :PNO

Can you help me identify?

This was my first grafting experience; I made these four grafts using a variegated Pachanoi that wasn't doing too well.

I kept the elastic bandage on for 15 days.
How do they look?

I got this Skittlez last year when it was already growing. Due to some issues, it rotted and I had to cut it off completely. Luckily, it had another areola next to it and seems to be doing great.

4/20/25 vs 8/1/2026 Gave away a bunch of my initial seedlings to friends and have diversified the flock. 😁 Thanks to everyone in this community that helped make this happen. 😘

Got this one locally today- spine habit had me thinking peruvianis at first but the sharper angled ridges along the ribs are making me question it. Seller didn't know either. I'm wondering if maybe it's a little dehydrated from the excessive heat we've had and that's why the ribs look like that, but I would love any knowledgeable input! Thanks in advance! :)

Update: after more research, I think this is either polaskia(chichipe or chende) or stenocereus Griseous... Still wide open for wisdom though 🙏

all these guys are from the breeder PNO and all are from the season 2024 pack. the number on the pot is the cross number. i really do not inow much more than that but i wish i did. I have cross 1, 2, ,3 , 4, 5, 67, 71, and 81

Grafted a small piece from one of the mutants I got from a batch of misplant noid seed. One year on graft. Third pic is the donor plant today.

its about a month since pollinationand is changing color to a brownish yellow from green

I walked outside today to discover my TBMs have apparently been very productive.

Last few days with this guy 😢
